Hi Matthew. Thanks for your response. Pending more tests, the problem has been resolved. Special thanks to Stacey Roberts and his girlfriend. :) A while back I expanded our subnet from 255.255.255.224 to 255.255.255.0. Long story short: Samba was binding to the wrong broadcast address. That is, 192.168.1.31 instead of 192.168.1.255. It was an oversight of mine -- a setting I forgot to changed during the subnet expansion extravaganza. I haven't done any real sniffing to see what was actually going on when the interface timed out. I'm just glad it works now. I'll celebrate 50 hours of overtime with a beer or two...or three, maybe four 5 6 7... I'll answer some of your questions below. > i) Is there any chance of meeting your deadline given the current state > of your system? I will be able to meet the deadline now. Yay! (The citizens of Custom Film Effects -- after much deliberation -- decide to acknowledge System Administrator Day) > ii) Have you ever had this hardware setup working well under this sort > of load? Not really. I've added render engines and workstations recently. Also, the new version of Digital Fusion seems to be more efficient at using processor time and memory so I really cranks out frames. > iii) Do you really need 1000baseTX network speeds? Absolutely. We're dealing with 12MB cineon images. Some comp'd shots render very quickly -- load, save, load, save, load, save, load, save ... Thanks for taking an interest.
